awesome thank you for the input!
been oogling over those billet engine parts for a while, guess nows the time!
if im opening up the engine anyways, is there anything else i should get and install while im in there?
For what else to do while the engine is open, it would be a good idea to open another thread in the Engine/Predator section. Tell what you want to do with the bike and how you want to ride. Then give a description on what you've done already to the engine. You may get some good opinions on what cam to use while the engine is open.

the hoarding continues…

my buddy said he knew a guy who had a minibike sitting outside that lived next door to him. i brought my doodlebug in my honda element over to their neighborhood and knocked on his door with my friend. super old skool badass old dude. probly 80 years old still smoking marlboro reds. covered in tattoos. we started talking, he saw my doodlebug and said “aww hell you deserve mine, i never used it. take out my trash and you can have it”

he tried to give it to me for free!!

i refused and gave him $200 cash. he wouldnt accept any more.

it has a predator 212 with a stage one kit he bought from gopowersports haha! he put it all together and rode it down the street, said he almost killed himself and its sat on the side of the house ever since.

currently does not run, been sitting outside since october of 2020. he said he used this very forum for info on rejetting the carb. awesome story. new favorite bike. the ct100u is TINY!!!

been snowing in washington, the state is basically shut down. all my minibike tools and parts are at work haha i will get this running asap! probly next week. plan to just get it running, mount the gas tank properly, and get the rust off this chain

Its really happy that you and your kid liked the mini bike. Today many people are loved to ride the mini bikes and this has become a new trend in the market. As the growth is high, it is right time to build the mobile application to improve the presence of the service and expand the customer base.
